Charles | my point is that i don't think this is complicated to explain, it's maybe one to three sentences depending on how specific you really want to be i guess | 21:21:17 |
Rutile (rootile) | * non-arbitrary = [a-zA-Z][\w-]*(?!<=-) | 21:21:21 |

helle (just a stray cat girl) | like, I've seen some amazing programming concepts that people should learn early on, and omfg when I had to try and teach them to people | 21:22:29 |
